Rich Clementi (45-21-1 MMA, 2-1 BFC) meets Marcin Held (11-2 MMA, 3-1 BFC) in the main event, and Ricardo Tirloni (15-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) takes on Dave Jansen (18-2 MMA, 4-0 BFC) in the co-feature, with the winners advancing to fight each other in the Season 7 lightweight tournament finals.

Bellator 81 takes place Nov. 16 at Ryan Center at The University of Rhode Island in Kingston, R.I. The MTV2-televised main card follows prelims on Spike.com.

Clementi reached the lightweight semifinals with a narrow decision win over Alexander “Tiger” Sarnavskiy. Held got past Murad Machaev by unanimous decision. Jansen submitted Magomed Saadulaev with a third-round guillotine choke. And Tirloni forced Rene Nazare to tap with a second-round D’Arce choke. All four of those fights took place on the main card of Bellator 77 this past month in Reading, Pa.
